Disturbing New Claim Surfaces in Kyren Lacy Death

A disturbing new claim has surfaced in the Kyren Lacy death.

Authorities in Harris County, Texas, say that the former LSU football star took his own life after a police chase.

On April 12, 2025, at approximately 11:15 p.m., deputies with the Harris County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office "responded to a weapons disturbance call in 9300 block of FM 1960," the report from the Harris County Sheriff's Office says.

"The reportee in the case stated that her family member, later identified by her as 24-year-old Kyren Lacy, was involved in a verbal argument with her, and had discharged a firearm into the ground," the Sheriff's Office wrote, although it did not name the family member. 

"When the first Pct. 4 unit arrived on scene and began receiving information, they learned the suspect had fled the scene and a description of the vehicle Lacy was driving was broadcast by radio," the report continued.

"At approximately 11:35 p.m., a Pct. 4 Constable’s Office unit spotted Lacy and attempted to make a traffic stop on the vehicle. Lacy then fled and a vehicle pursuit took place spanning several miles," the Sheriff's Office wrote. 

"Near the 25900 block of Aldine Westfield, the suspect vehicle crashed. suffered what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Lacy was pronounced deceased at the scene by EMS personnel. The vehicle Lacy was driving was registered and insured in his name."

The report concluded, "Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Units conducted an investigation of the incident. Preliminary information indicates Lacy shot himself during the pursuit and prior to the vehicle crashing. A handgun was recovered from the interior of the vehicle. A review of the Pct. 4 units body camera and in car dash mounted video did not indicate any shots were fired after the pursuit ended."

At the time of his death, Lacy, a former LSU football player who was expected to be a top draft pick, was already facing accusations stemming from the death of a man in a fatal hit-and-run.
